caithnessmusic.com

caithnessmusic.com began its work in Caithness, in the Far North of Scotland In 2012. It is the brainchild of 2 exceptional musicians, composer Katrina Gordon and conductor Susie Dingle. What they once dreamed of, they now achieve – they create opportunities for ordinary people to learn and play lots of music together. Put that way, it sounds simple enough…. but their successes are only realised, week in week out, by their commitment, multi talents, and huge dollops of hard graft.

The Caithness Junior Orchestra – just one of many ensembles from the caithnessmusic.com stable.

Innertuba’s association with caithnessmusic.com began in late 2013. Out of the blue, I received an email from composer Katrina. After introducing herself , she wrote:

“I think what you’re doing is amazing! Sorry I don’t have loads of money to give you, but to contribute a little bit I’ve just made one of my pieces available free so that you can have it to play if you like, when you’re on your tour”…..

Since then the InnerTuba HQ, TubaTowers has relocated to Caithness, and many ideas around the development of InnerTuba flow back and forth between me, Susie and Katrina. One of these led to Katrina’s generous investment of time arranging her piece for wind band.
